The Weekly Spin examines both the Cal and Saint Mary summer foreign college basketball tours and the reasons why more overseas treks in the future make sense. The experiences have only been positive and they have shown to be distinct summer advantage for every program. St. Mary's WCC Player of the Year candidate Daniel Kickert looks to benefit from the Gaels summer tour of his native Australia. The Weekly Spin also updates a few recruiting news and notes around the west coast, including a new San Jose State verbal, plus some moves from around the Pac-10.
